Not an American term. Just a typo that, like everything about Uber, is a little too fishy.

  You made me click. They fixed it to tarp. And here I was about to go on a wild goose chase to see if there might have been a reasonable explanation for why a carp was used. :)

    Maybe related: in Spanish, "carpa" means both "carp" the fish and "tent". I never thought to ask why they're the same, but Wikipedia says "carpa" as "tent" comes from Quechua and as a fish comes from Latin.

    Sounds like they're floundering around looking for the right word.

      If this is your sense of humor, can I recommend an inkredible anime called Squid Girl ika?
